Is this Tiger's Last Chance to Make a Run at History? </div>
</div>
</div>
<p>Remember when Tiger Woods didn&rsquo;t even have to think about Jack Nicklaus&rsquo; record 18 Major wins? When it was a given he&rsquo;d race to that number and leave the greats in his path? He does, too.</p>
<p>Now with the pressure growing in each tournament he enters, Tiger is staring the Golden Bear right in the eyes in a make-or-break year.</p>
<p>I&rsquo;m usually the last one to hit the panic button on Tiger, one of (if not the) greatest to ever play. Eventually, though, the year where he <em>must</em> win a major tournament had to come. With his old competition, Phil, Ernie, and Vijay, fading into Champions Tour players, it&rsquo;s Tiger&rsquo;s time to make a run at 18 majors.&nbsp; It seems the pressure for him to win a major is not only there, but it&rsquo;s haunted him in each of his last five major-less years and has possibly contributed to his &lsquo;dormancy&rsquo;.</p>
<p>Tiger Woods is no longer dormant. In fact, he was dormant for around a year, when he took part of 2009 off due to his injured knee, and some of 2010 after his marriage fell apart while the entire world watched. No one will remember his return from that leave of absence, a fourth-place finish at Augusta, or his identical finish the Masters following. No one will remember his finish atop the FedEx Cup standings in 2012. Above all, coming into this US Open, few will remember his four wins this year. Tiger Woods was the only player on tour to have multiple wins in 2013 until Matt Kuchar took home the Memorial last weekend.</p>
<p>Through it all, Woods managed to become the winningest golfer of all time, eclipsing the 73-win mark set by Jack Nicklaus.&nbsp; Through marriage infidelities, a swing change, a new putter, a new swing coach, and a new caddy, Tiger fell to #58 in the world. But he&rsquo;d be back. He was &lsquo;back&rsquo; after a win at the Arnold Palmer Invitational last year which snapped a winless streak dating back to 2009. He was &lsquo;back&rsquo; after yet another triumph at the Arnold Palmer, the eighth of his career and the third win of 2013. And he&rsquo;ll be &lsquo;back&rsquo; after he wins the 2013 US Open at Merion.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s always painful for me to pick Tiger Woods to win a major. Back at his peak, it was the easiest thing to do, and it still is. Tiger Woods is still the face of golf and a constant Vegas favorite. He has the largest following in the sport by far, and has been the consensus pick to win nearly every major he&rsquo;s played in. This year, though, Tiger <em>has</em> to win.</p>
<p>In an ironic twist, the short Merion Golf Club plays right into Woods&rsquo; hands. It was only five years ago Tiger was the expected champion at long courses, because he out-drove almost everyone.</p>
<p>The short course doesn&rsquo;t help Tiger because he&rsquo;s lost that much distance (he&rsquo;s still the 12th best driver on tour), it&rsquo;s due to his elite putting, ranked second, and his great short game in general. He won&rsquo;t have much difficulty hitting narrow fairways this weekend, as he&rsquo;ll hit driver maybe three times per round. From 200 yards in, who can really beat him? If he&rsquo;s consistently hitting fairways, as he should be, there&rsquo;s no reason a wedge in isn&rsquo;t going to result in a lot of birdies. Couple that with a great sand save rate this year (61%) and he fits the historic Merion perfectly.</p>
<p>The only one who can beat him on the greens is Steve Stricker, who&rsquo;s time to win his first major is running out. The only one with a better smile is Matt Kuchar, who just so happens to be surging into the US Open, doing the opposite of Tiger. Throw in a few angered anchor-putters, who are desperate to get the PGA to change their minds about banning the extended flatsticks, and you&rsquo;ve got a nice group of people with a great shot to win this tournament.</p>
<p>Are there other competitors? Of course there are. Bubba Watson can be named one, for his ability to shape shots. Webb Simpson may be another, someone who&rsquo;s handled the pressure of the Open before. Then you&rsquo;ve got some golfers hungry for the spotlight like Dustin Johnson and Jason Dufner. And, of course, there&rsquo;s always Brandt Snedeker, who can play with the best of &lsquo;em, but can crack under pressure.</p>
<p>Regardless of the threats to Tiger, he&rsquo;s still the favorite to win his first major since the 2008 US Open. That&rsquo;s not news to him or anyone who&rsquo;s watched golf over the past five years. What should be news to him is the fact he needs to win this US Open, because if he doesn&rsquo;t, he may never reach 18 majors. He may be remembered for stumbling off tour, disappearing after 20 some-odd years of dominance.</p>

We move from the studios of WFUV to Long Island to cover the FedEx Cup </div>
</div>
</div>
<p>One on One hit the road on August 25<sup>th</sup> as we traveled to Bethpage Park in Farmingdale, NY for the first round of the FedEx Cup Playoffs.</p>
<div>We were very fortunate to have numerous guests join us this day. First up was off Barclays Tournament Chairman Peter Mele.&nbsp;He told us how he worked his way up from initially being tournament volunteer to his current position.&nbsp;Also, he went on to say how no one was more thrilled about the beautiful weather for the tournament than he was after having to deal with Hurricane Irene last year.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Hank Gola of the New York Daily News and member of the Board of Directors of the Golf Writers Association of America was our next guest.&nbsp;He was surprised with how well some of the players were doing on a traditionally extremely difficult course, and gaveus his pick for the eventual winner.&nbsp;Since Hank is a local writer, he was really able to explain to us what having a major golf tournament in Farmingdale meant to the New York golf fans.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>GolfWeek Magazine writer Jim McCabe then joined us and told us how Bethpage Park compares to his favorite golf courses and explained how the pressure of a U.S Open can make a significant difference on a golfer's game<span>.<br />
</span></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Finally, 1979 Fordham alum and 1989 Fordham Athletic Hall of Fame inductee Pierre Davis, one of the head volunteers at the Barclays, came on the show.&nbsp;Pierre gave us insight about the unsung heroes of the tournament, the volunteers, telling us how they have to pay $65 dollars to work the event &ndash; talk about dedication!&nbsp;We also learned what the duties of the volunteers are.&nbsp;</div>

Sergio finishes tied for 3rd, Woods +1 </div>
</div>
</div>
<div>It was an up and down&nbsp;day for just about everyone on the course, even winner Nick Watney.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>He nearly carded a 1-over back 9, but thanks to a birdie putt on the 18<sup>th</sup> he finished 2-under for the day. &ldquo;To make birdie at the last&hellip;it was awesome.&rdquo;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>There was the possibility of a playoff if Watney had bogeyed 18 and Sergio birdied. After all, Watney had bogeyed it two days in a row. &ldquo;There was no playing safe,&rdquo; he said.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Sergio Garcia, on the other hand, was right next to Watney&rsquo;s name on the leaderboard nearly the whole day until he made three bogeys on the back 9 to finish 3-Over for the day. Was it tough for Sergio? Sure. But as he put it, &ldquo;it&rsquo;s been a very good two weeks.&rdquo; A very good two weeks indeed, he&rsquo;s now tenth in the FedEx Cup standings.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Brandt Snedeker is eight spots ahead of Sergio after picking up 1,500 points, finishing second at -7 after a birdie at the last.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Watney&rsquo;s your new leader at the top &ndash; 2 spots ahead of old leader Tiger Woods. What once looked like a promising day for Woods turned sour; he made an improbable par save on the par-3 eighth to help him get to even for the front. Things got ugly from there, as he missed a gimme putt for bogey on 14 en route to a 5-over day.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The greens finally got some water today, and it resulted in lots of confusion among the players and caddies on speed and break. Watney managed to get by fine, and he&rsquo;s going to remember that tonight when he&rsquo;s out with his wife, Adam Scott, Tim Clark, and Charley Hoffman.</div><fieldset class="fieldgroup group-audio"><legend>Audio</legend><div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-sportsaudioupload">

Woods Enters Saturday 5 strokes ahead of Rory McIlroy </div>
</div>
</div>
<p>&quot;I'm probably going to sleep on the floor. I do that in Europe all the time, so this is nothing new.&quot;</p>
<p>This was not a joke from Tiger Woods, as one reporter had thought. These were the realities the aging superstar had to face after suffering through hours of pain in his lower back. He described it as pain in &quot;a section of movement&quot; that would come right before impact in his swing. Through all this, you'd think the 36 year-old might consider withdrawing - something he says never crossed his mind. Instead, the two-time FedEx Cup winner posted a 2-under 69 to put him three shots back of leader Nick Watney.</p>
<!--break-->
<p>After his press conference, he proceeded to get treatment on his back for an hour and ten minutes. One could only imagine what was being done to his back.</p>
<p>Speaking of Watney, it looked like he was on his way to an 11-under or even 12-under score going into 16, but he missed a par save which dropped him to 9-under, and then made bogey on the Par 4 18th. The positives in his round? An eagle at 4 to get his momentum going, and a birdie run that started on 13 and ended on 15 with a pinpoint approach. It wasn't uncommon for him to make so many bogeys to go along with his birdies - he had 4. He said the greens were &quot;12 to 13 maybe&quot; on the stimpmeter, which gave a lot of players problems.</p>
<p>Two more fan favorites, Rory McIlroy and Phil Mickelson, finished the day at Even Par for the tournament. While Phil was undertandably trying to forget his round as quickly as possible, Rory actually told me he thought he hit the ball pretty well, and didn't seem to upset with his performance. He almost missed the 1-Over cut, but as he pointed out, the difference between the cut and the leader has grown over the years &quot;It's just never 10 strokes anymore, it just never is.</p>
<p>Rory starts at 8:45, Phil's right in front of him at 8:55, and the leaders (Watney and Sergio Garcia) get started at 1:45. Tiger Woods is paired with Gary Christian, and they're scheduled for a 1:05 tee time.</p>

Irishman leads Nick Watney by 1 at -7, Tiger by 4 </div>
</div>
</div>
<p>You&rsquo;d think a 7-under 64 would be the talk of Bethpage Black, but instead leader Padraig Harrington faced question after question about his quest for a Ryder Cup spot. &ldquo;The only answer I can give at this stage is I'm pleading the Fifth Amendment.&rdquo;</p>
<div>The Irishman started things off by posting a 1-under 35 on the front 9; then came the noise.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>From 11 to 17, he went 6-under, birdieing all but the Par 4 15<sup>th</sup>. He didn&rsquo;t need to show off the putter much, sticking his approach on all but the treacherous 17<sup>th</sup> within 12 feet or less.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Like Paddy, Rickie Fowler, who&rsquo;s just three shots out of the lead, had an eventful afternoon. The 24 year-old made 4 consecutive birdie putts on 13-16 to give him, and his rather large following something to cheer about. The key to his round was his patience, which is something necessary to all golfers trying to make a run this week. &quot;I tried to stay as patient as I could all day, and I finally got one to ten feet or so, got a good putt, rolled it in.&rdquo;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The marquee group of Tiger, Rory, and Zach Johnson proved to be as good as advertised, although the Trio all finished just outside the top 10. Woods commented that he thought his putting &ldquo;was really good&rdquo;, and it looked just as it did in the PGA Championship &ndash; good early. He&rsquo;ll need to string together a few more good performances with the blade before thinking about taking the first playoff event. He and Johnson finished tied for 14<sup>th</sup> at 3-under, while Mcilroy shot a 2-under 69.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Round 1 of the Tiger-Rory showdown went to El Tigre.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Last week&rsquo;s winner at Wyndham, Sergio Garcia finished two shots back at 5-under, while defending Barclays champ Dustin Johnson sits three behind.</div><fieldset class="fieldgroup group-audio"><legend>Audio</legend><div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-sportsaudioupload">
